Crochet Beanie Pattern

With clear instructions and a user-friendly approach, you’ll find joy in each stitch, resulting in a beautiful accessory that’s not just functional but also a statement piece.

Tip:

To maximize the beanie’s beauty, use a softer yarn that not only looks luxurious but also feels wonderful against the skin.

Materials Needed:

• Bernat Yarn (Oceania Stripes, variegated)
• Size J/10 (6 mm) crochet hook
• Darning needle/threading/yarn/tapestry needle
• Scissors
• One skein of yarn
• Stitch marker (or a safety pin)

Instructions:

Starting the Beanie:

• Using the yarn tail that comes from the inside of the skein, start with a magic circle.
• Within the magic circle, crochet 12 double crochets (DC).
• First Round:
• To close the circle, pull on the yarn tail and slip stitch into the first DC, ignoring the chain that secures the loop.

Now chain 2 — this is not counted as a stitch.

Second Round:

• In the next stitch (not in the same one you slip stitched into), make 2 DC, then 1 DC in the following stitch.
• Continue with a 2 DC, 1 DC pattern around the circle. You should end with 18 stitches, including the initial chain.

Third Round:

• Start with 2 DC in the following stitch, then 1 DC in the next two stitches.
• Continue the pattern around with 2 DC, 1 DC, 1 DC. Finish with 24 stitches.

Subsequent Rounds:

• Continue increasing in the same manner, working your way up to rounds where the increases are spread out even further.
• For example, 2 DC, 1 DC (repeated five more times) for the next round, then 2 DC, 1 DC (repeated six times) for the following, and so on.

Sizing the Beanie:

• Keep increasing the rounds until the circle is large enough to fit the crown of the intended user’s head.

Creating the Sides:

• Without increasing further, crochet in rounds placing 1 DC into each stitch from the previous round.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each new round.

Checking the Fit:

• Periodically try the beanie on the intended wearer to ensure proper fit and to decide when to stop increasing the size.

Finishing the Beanie:

• When the beanie reaches the desired length, switch to single crochet (SC) rounds to create a tighter border that will fit snugly around the head.
• End with one or two rounds of SC, then slip stitch to finish.

Securing the Ends:

• Chain 1 to secure the end. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail.
• Pull the tail through the loop to create a knot.
• Weave the ends in using your darning needle, or for a quick finish, knot securely and trim.
